Compare and contrast between radio and Mp4

Recently, most people use Mp4 as their entertainment devices compared to radio. It has many differences between Mp4 and radio. Radio can refer to either the electronic appliance that we listen with or the content listened to while Mp4 is the official file extension of the multimedia container format MPEG-4 part 14, which is combine the digital audio and digital video. Mp4 is short for Moving Picture Expert Group-4. It appeared for the first time in 1998. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the differences between Mp4 and radio. The three main differences are function, cost and portability.

The most remarkable difference between these two devices is their function. People only can listen to music which is on air by radio. Radio cannot save or store music such as Mp3 because it does not have any memory or storage. But, we can record sound using tape via radio. While, Mp4 actually contain multiple audio, video and subtitle streams as they are container formats and not simple file formats. Besides that, Mp4 have storage or memory card attached to it and we can store all types of file format such as audio, video or picture.

Comparing both types of devices, we notice another difference. The cost between both devise are extremely different. Radio is obviously cheaper and affordable than Mp4. It costs only about RM10 to RM 100. In contrast, Mp4 is too expensive compared to radio as it costs RM 100 and above. Only a few people can afford to buy it. In addition, it costs more to have repaired once it is broken. At first, most people have a radio. But, when the technology developed, the popularity of radio has decrease because of the present of Mp4 as people try to own it although it was pricey.

Another difference between these two devices is their portability. Radio is bigger than MP4. Because of this factor, radio is hard to bring anywhere we want as some of the radio used plug. But there is also radio in small size that used battery. Hence, the portability of radio depends on its sources and size. Mp4 is too small compared to radio. Furthermore, it needs battery charging always with it, but radio does not. Therefore, it is extremely portable than radio since we can simply put it in our pocket.

Here are the three main differences between radio and Mp4. It does not matter which devices that you own because both radio and Mp4 have their own functions and advantages. The most important thing is as long as you enjoy using the device.
